Satisfaction Guaranteed. Ralph Waldo Emerson, who went by his middle name Waldo, was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and his ideology was disseminated through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay "Nature". Following this work, he gave a speech entitled "The American Scholar" in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. considered to be America's "intellectual Declaration of Independence." Emerson wrote most of his important essays as lectures first and then revised them for print. His first two collections of essays, Essays: First Series (1841) and Essays: Second Series (1844), represent the core of his thinking. They include the well-known essays "Self-Reliance", "The Over-Soul", "Circles", "The Poet", and "Experience." Together with "Nature", these essays made the decade from the mid-1830s to the mid-1840s Emerson's most fertile period. Emerson wrote on a number of subjects, never espousing fixed philosophical tenets, but developing certain ideas such as individuality, freedom, the ability for mankind to realize almost anything, and the relationship between the soul and the surrounding world. Emerson's "nature" was more philosophical than naturalistic: "Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul." Emerson is one of several figures who "took a more pantheist or pandeist approach by rejecting views of God as separate from the world." He remains among the linchpins of the American romantic movement, and his work has greatly influenced the thinkers, writers and poets that followed him. "In all my lectures," he wrote, "I have taught one doctrine, namely, the infinitude of the private man." Emerson is also well known as a mentor and friend of Henry David Thoreau, a fellow transcendentalist. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is "Sociology of the Renaissance" by Alfred von Martin, as translated by W. L. Luetkens. This edition was published by Harper & Row as a Harper Torchbook (# TB 1099) in its Academy Library Series. It has an Introduction by Wallace K, Ferguson. This is the 1963 First Torchbook Edition, which is also the First Paperback Edition. The following is excerpted from the Introduction by Mr. Ferguson : " 'Sociology of the Renaissance' is interesting, not only as a unique attempt to place the evolution of the dominant class of the Florentine society in relation to the whole cultural complex of the age, but, still more, because it marks the culmination of a definite stage in the socio-economic historiography devoted to the Renaissance during the opening decades of the Twentieth Century. As in his earlier studies, von Martin was endeavoring to discover and define the spirit or essence of the Renaissance. But now the 'ideal type' he placed in the foreground of his study was no longer the humanist, but rather the capitalist 'haute bourgeois' who represented the economically, politically, and culturally dominant class of the Renaissance, particularly as it existed in Florence, the 'bourgeois metropolis' which he regarded as most typical of the culture of the age ."
